A resident health needs survey runs through Friday, conducted in person and online — findings will shape the district's local public health care plan covering 2027 to 2030.
Geumcheon-gu is conducting a resident health needs survey through Friday to develop its ninth local public health care plan, which will guide the district's health policy for the next four years, from 2027 to 2030.
The local public health care plan is a statutory medium- to long-term plan that local governments are required to draw up every four years under the Community Health Act. It sets policy directions and action items based on local health issues, medical demand and health care conditions in the area.
The survey is open to all Geumcheon-gu residents as well as workers and others who spend their daily lives in the district. Participants may respond in person at public health centers, community health posts and neighborhood community centers, or online via QR code.
The survey covers five topics: major health problems in the district, health programs that should be prioritized going forward, groups most in need of support, health services needed for specific populations — including infants, pregnant women, children and adolescents, adults, senior citizens and vulnerable groups — and satisfaction with current health care services.
Through the survey, the district aims to identify the key health concerns residents feel most acutely and gauge demand for health care services. The findings will be used to define the direction and specific programs of the ninth local public health care plan for the next four years.
"This survey is the process of directly hearing from residents about which health issues Geumcheon-gu should focus on and which health services it should strengthen over the next four years," Geumcheon-gu District Mayor Choi Ki-chan said. "We will do our utmost to ensure that the voices residents share are faithfully reflected in actual health policy."
